A satirical story attributes 7,291 paranormal voices and six years of insomnia to Madrid's Isabel Díaz Ayuso, leading her to consult TV presenter Iker Jiménez.
Ayuso claims to hear voices from the Beyond and consults Iker Jiménez
A satirical account attributes to Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid, the intention of resolving via television an issue that, according to the same text, no conventional journalist has been able to close. The leader says she hears "ghostly voices" not of this world, especially at night, and assures they do not let her sleep. She wants to ask Iker Jiménez, presenter of Cuarto Milenio and Horizonte, about them. The text counts 7,291 voices tormenting her. She has endured them for six years, it says.
What the story says about the voices attributed to Ayuso
The PP president in Madrid allegedly explained that initially she thought the voices came from an earpiece, a hypothesis she discarded because the voice heard through the earpiece is very different. The others, she clarifies, "are sober." She also links her intention to move house with the attempt to flee from them: "Some cough and choke, I can't take it anymore."
The voices, always according to the same story, invite her to go with them and seek justice. The protagonist's response turns the joke around: "But as far as I know, I have never done anything wrong in my life." The text ends by asking Jiménez to clarify some doubts and leaving the door open to talk also about the Sol encampment.
Psychophony, tinnitus, and the electricity bill
The most repeated response renames the president with two words: psychophony and tinnitus. The joke quickly turns towards management. Against the voices from the Beyond she claims to hear, it is argued that there are others she does not listen to, those of Madrileños paying their electricity bills, and that the true unsolved mystery lies there.
In that same line, it is maintained that the leader raises taxes and closes public hospitals, and that it is striking that whoever manages that background noise focuses on the Beyond. It is not a judicial accusation: it is the dominant critical current, which turns the matter into a settling of scores regarding management.
The leap to elderly care homes
The conversation then shifts to another terrain. The complaint from the private care home employers' association appears: according to their version, the Government confiscated all sanitary material bought for the elderly care homes on April 1, 2020, at the airport. The association also maintains that it tried to contact the Ministry five times without receiving a response. These are one-sided statements, picked up by media like Okdiario, not a firm resolution.
Some add an electoral interest calculation: many voters of a specific orientation died in the care homes, and that would explain the harshness of the exchange. Others reply that residents with private health insurance fared better, although there are no public data to settle the matter.
Where the issue gets stuck
An unresolved problem remains in the story itself: if the voices seek justice and the one who hears them affirms having done nothing wrong, someone is mistaken, and there is no way to know who. The joke leaves that loose end on purpose. With these elements, the conversation stops exactly where it started, on whether the problem is the voices she claims to hear or those which, according to the most repeated quip, she fails to hear.
